Why Won't Apple Step Up?
My aging Blackberry is going to get replaced in a couple of months. With what? No idea.
My daughter has an iPhone; it's her generation's hottest product. Lots of her friends have them, or are about to get them.
I was considering getting one...but, I'm just not an Apple guy. As quirky as some of the Microsoft products are-it's what I'm used to working with...I'm comfortable with Microsoft products. Windows 7 rocks.
There's another reason why Apple is not the way I'm leaning;
They manufacture their phones in China. Now, I don't have anything against the people of China. But, I have a huge issue with Apple having it's factories located there...and they're not too pretty, from what I hear.
"But, Joel, if we start making iPhones in the US, we'll have to raise the prices a lot. Will you pay $750 for a cell phone?"
I think that Apple needs to step up and start making some of their phones here.
I'm not going to feel bad for them if they make a few billion dollars less a year for doing so.
Who knows, maybe some other companies will follow suit.
That could change things. It would sure change some of the politics here.
